An unusual 6-sided storage jar, the dark iron-rich clay covered in green glaze with the date Genroku 5 ((1692) and a signature scored into the side. Opposite this is an impressed image of a coin as well as a 3-character seal impressed into the side below the shoulder. Interestingly, deeply impressed into the soft clay of the base is a large oak leaf, very unusual for the time. The jar, likely from Tamba, one of the Rokkoyo or six ancient kilns, is 16.5 cm (6-1/2 inches) across, 19.5 cm (just less than 8 inches) tall and in excellent condition.
